The party friends

All of us have all types of friends.. close friends, old friends, new friends, office friends, school friends and college friends, family friends. I am not sure if other people have what I call “party friends”.

Party friends are characterized by the fact that, you never see them anywhere except at other people’s parties. These are people you have nothing in common with but you see them every now and then at parties of common acquaintances. You get introduced once or twice and then you “have” to do the customary “Hi..”

So this is how a typical conversation would go.

Me: Hey Hi.. How are you?

PF: I am doing great.. How are you? (Note how we don’t use each other’s names, because we are not sure.. that’s why) wow.. Look at your daughter.. Shez grown so much since X’s party in March.
